    Ok.....scratch my wish list entry as I just bought my Singer 66 Lotus Decal treadle head. Just happened to head to ebay UK and there she was. Nearly perfect decals but in a cabinet I certainly could not afford to have shipped here. I contacted the owner, begged him to just sell me the head and ship it to me.......HE AGREED! So another vintage purchase on another 24 December......coincidence? NOT, both were Christmas miracles to me!

    Here's a good pic of the head and did I mention she comes with an original decal matching hand crank?

    I learned to sew on a White Rotary 77, the one that was green with the crinkle finish and a knee control. So I would love to have one again.

    Qltrose,

    Thank you. Yea I love that decal around the thread spindle too. She's being shipped by the end of the week.
    Can't wait to get her here.

    just because I "cant" doesn't mean someone shouldn't.

    I've been in conversation with this nice person and have gotten him down to $110... However, I found a machine at MizKaki's that I think would be better for me so I though I'd share with others.

    if you want to have me intro you to the gentleman at my price, PM me.
